Summary
- Golfer Trey Mullinax receives a six-month suspension from the PGA Tour.
- The suspension is due to a positive test for a prohibited substance.
- Mullinax has accepted the penalty and cooperated with the tour.
Golfer Trey Mullinax has been handed a six-month suspension by the PGA Tour following a positive test for a substance prohibited under the tour's anti-doping policy. This suspension commenced prior to July 30, 2026, and Mullinax will be eligible to resume play on January 16, 2027.
Mullinax has cooperated fully with the tour's investigation and has accepted the imposed penalty. The 34-year-old American athlete stated that he had been treating a condition, diagnosed during his college years, with medication. However, he failed to obtain the necessary approval from the PGA Tour for its use.
In a statement, Mullinax took full responsibility for the situation, emphasizing that he never intended to use any substance to gain a competitive edge. Mullinax, who had missed the cut in his two PGA Tour appearances this year, secured his sole tour victory at the 2022 Barbasol Championship held at Keene Trace Golf Club in Kentucky.
